There is a theory in the field of mathematics, called six studies of security, which is translated into chinese and includes the following: the theory of six degrees of separation, the theory of six degrees of space and the theory of the small world。
The six-degree theory of space states that there are no more than six people between you and any stranger, that is to say, by a maximum of six you will be able to meet any stranger. That's the six-degree space theory, also called the little world theory。
The phenomenon of a six-degree separation does not mean that the connection between any one person and another has to take place at six levels, but rather expresses the important notion that a necessary connection or relationship can always be created between any two unknown persons by means of a certain link. It is clear that with differences in the means and capacity of communication, there will be a clear difference in the opportunities for achieving individual expectations。
The social network is not really very deep, and its theoretical basis is the “six-degree separation”. Social software, on the other hand, is value-added software and services based on real social networks. A few years ago, a german newspaper accepted the challenge of helping a turkish barbecue owner in frankfurt to find his connection to his favorite movie star, marlon brando. As a result, after several months, the newspaper staff found that the two individuals had had personal relationships with no more than six people. Turning out to be an iraqi immigrant with a friend living in california, this friend's colleague, the daughter of the producer of the film " this man is a little horny " at the sorority sorority's sister's boyfriend, marlon brando stared the film。
In 1967, stanley milgram, a social psychologist at harvard university, designed an experiment to link letters. He sent a chain of letters at random to 160 people living in omaha, nebraska, in which the name of a boston stockbroker was placed, asking each recipient to send the letter to a friend who he thought was closer to the stockbroker. Friends receive letters and do so. Ultimately, most of the letters arrived at the stockbroker after five or six steps. The concept of six degrees of space follows. This chain of experiments reflects an objective and seemingly universal pattern: socialized members of modern human society can be linked by “six degrees of space”, and there is absolutely no a-b link. It is a more typical, profound and widespread natural phenomenon. So, how do you use the mathematical theory to reveal the six-degree divide? This is another major mathematical assumption in modern mathematics。
It's a little like the problem of the adjacent colour of the map, but the problem of the adjacent colour is precisely demonstrated by mathematical methods (i. E., using only four colours at most), and the theory of six degrees of separation, i think, can only be assumed by less than a full sum, and the social model is much more complex than the two-dimensional map model。
Regardless of the depth of the theory, “six degrees of separation” and the intimate association of the internet have begun to show commercial value. In recent years, there has been increasing attention to social networking, and many web-based software, collectively known as social software, has begun to support people in building more trust and close social ties. Blog, for example, is a social software, because the personality and continuity required for blog writing has made the typical blogger circle, in its ecological form, more and more like the human circle of real life. According to the plume introduction to social software, what is more popular abroad is a fast-tracking of friends, or a business link, such as lInkedin. It is easier to find people who share a common interest globally, to find business opportunities more easily, to reach understanding and communication among different communities, etc。
Social software is well defined and is also evolving. Its core idea is actually the effect of a convergence. There are countless combinations of human, social and commercial, and if information is not combined, it can easily be depleted. Www has succeeded in bringing together text and graphics to make the internet truly operational; instant messaging has brought people together, creating tools such as icq. However, it is virtual, although it is an advantage of the network world, but the real name and credit that the business community demands is a divide. Convergence through the “six-degree separation” between acquaintances would create a trusted network, of which the commercial potential is indeed immeasurable。
Cohesion as a subject of social research is also of practical value. Scientists at cornell university have developed an algorithm that allows for the identification of “accidental” growth in some of the words in an article, which can be used to quickly identify recent trends and hotspot issues and thus to screen important information more effectively. In the past, many search techniques used a simple method of calculating the frequency of occurrence of text / phrases, while ignoring the increased rate of text use. If this method is applied to advertisers, potential demand can be quickly identified。
Society, networks, geography, commerce, and blog, you may have lost your mind. But once those who foresee the first find the commercial values that unite them, it is not just the cyberworld that is changed。
Six degrees is a sociological theory, but it's actually more like a mathematical theory, and many people say that six degrees and four colours are the same thing. In my view, the six-degree theory is a good illustration of the links and connections between the different nodes under a web structure (our human society), yet it is incomplete and insufficient to guide our practice。
The power of relationships
— the issue of power
The first of these is the recognition of widespread human connections, but there is no quantitative analysis of such connections. We may meet hundreds of people throughout our lives, some of whom are of great importance to me, some of whom are of little importance to me. The reasons and methods for the establishment of our contacts vary greatly, as do the biological and inherent connections of parents and relatives, some of whom have developed as a result of geographic proximity, such as neighbourhood relations, and others that have developed as a result of learning together. In the six-degree theory, they are all linked, and there is no weakness. In a web-based structure, people-to-people relationships need to be weighted, where six degrees are defective。
Distinction between arrival and networking
— the question of purpose and outcome
In the 1960s, stanley milgram, a social psychologist at yale university, designed an experiment to link letters. He sent a chain of letters at random to 160 people living in omaha, nebraska, in which the name of a boston stockbroker was placed, asking each recipient to send the letter to a friend who he thought was closer to the stockbroker. Friends receive letters and do so. Ultimately, most of the letters arrived at the stockbroker after five or six steps. The concept of six-degree partition (also known as “six-degree space”). Many of the six-degree lovers know this story and are given the bible. But i would like to draw your attention to the important difference between this story and the idea of the sns site that we now use. In this story, the letter reached the boston stockbroker's hand correctly, but note that no one's friendship has changed throughout the process. Yeah, that's important. What's the message in this story, and what is the sns site we're seeing now that wants to send among users? Is that a contact? Friends?
Speaking of which, i would like to refer to the experiment to buy tickets for torches that was mentioned earlier, in which the message was actually sent, not friends。
Costs and incentives passed
- interdiction
In stanley milgram's experiment and the torch experiment, there was no cost, or zero. But is it really cost zero? It's a very low cost for everyone to pass on a letter, and it's even less expensive to change the msn's name, but those people would do it to look at their friends, so what is the actual cost here? It's what the chinese say about debt, so-called relationship costs. No one likes a man who needs help all day, who has to pay back his debt like money. That's the cost of passing on. After the torch train experiment, we've been thinking about this, and today we need tickets so we can ask our friends to change their names, but can we use this method every day to get help? Buying tickets today, buying tickets tomorrow, maybe twice, more times, and friends will be bored and even abandoning your friend。
The gmail invitation has been praised to this day by many, and an invitation can even be sold for $60 when it first appeared. A lot of people shouted it was the greatest marketing. However, today many invitations have become impossible to send. Why? The high value of gmail at first was scarce, combined with its strong google brand and its high level of user identity, added to its popularity as a symbol of honour. This is an honour that has inspired the gmail invitation to spread wildly in the six-degree network. However, with the high prevalence of gmail, this sense of honour has gradually declined, ultimately reducing incentives and, by far, halting communication。
Good or bad? We can send a message to anyone without a stop, and every sns website is saying that you only need six degrees to know clinton to know gates, but a few people really know them? No, because while the connection appears to be only six degrees, each degree of blockage may be impassable. But don't be pessimistic. If you don't stop, you'll be even more upset! The llf has said, "for example. Assuming that there are 30 friends per person, the amount of information after six degrees is six times 30 degrees = 729 million, is sufficient to reach a level that can reach all possible people.” if there is no obstacle to a six-degree connection, it is estimated that all sorts of information we receive every day from six best friends will blow up our heads。
In our lives, the higher a person, the more famous he gets, the more friends he gets, and the less he wants to expand his circle of relationships, as they tend to be troubled. One example is the leaking of the 600 artist contacts of the past days, which we had six degrees of connection with these 600 people as part of society, but one day they were made public and their connection with us was flattened immediately. In a moment, the blocker disappeared, so you could call the ying and tian. You can call now. But we can only say that it turned out to be a disaster, that many celebrities complained, that many called their homes and said, "are you xxx? I liked you!" and then i hung up. A lot of people stopped and even changed their numbers。
This disaster is a very interesting story for people outside the board, and it is interesting to see that, once the relationship between these celebrities and the public has been flatened (six degrees into one time), their value to the public has started to lose, and the public has to call, ask, and show off and call the stars, that's all. This huge flattening project has not extended the circle of friends of the stars, who are still far from the stars..
Friends are friends' assumptions
- the direction and transmission of relationships
The sns website's favorite phrase might be, "friends are friends," but the same day i talked to llf in musn, a friend i knew who was a friend of my a's or a b's was a very offensive guy, and there was a c in my friend who hated that guy or b more. So i'm afraid to introduce an a and a c in the current sns service, because when they are introduced at the same time, it's likely that the result is that a b and a c link starts fighting。
Six degrees apart
In the 1960s, millgren, a social psychologist at harvard university in the united states, introduced the theory of “six divisions of security”. In short, the “six-degree separation” is a society in which there is a link between any two person requiring a maximum of six persons (not including the two) who, whether they know it or not, live in any remote part of the planet, only six degrees apart。
Now, most people are familiar with "six degrees of separation". A 1993 film featuring wilsmith, conspiring the general public to use its name and main topic. This idea becomes a much more popular kevin bacon game, where you choose any actor and try to connect in one way or another to actor kevin bacon in "six steps." recreation and seemingly trivialization notwithstanding, the widespread presence of these vehicles has been based on serious academic concepts, social interaction and interpersonal networks since the early 1990s。
Such concepts, such as the kevin bacon competition, are becoming increasingly connected as a result of technological advances, communication and transport. Long distances affect communication less, and therefore the expansion of interpersonal networks goes far beyond previous constraints and barriers. The modern world is shrinking。
The heart of the social network, kevin bacon, and the concept of six degrees of separation. A social network is, in essence, a range of individuals or groups associated with them. A person or group can have many different networks, for example, a person may have a family network, a school network, a network friend, a golf network and many others。
An organization may have an employee network, a supplier network, a customer network etc., all of these networks are characterized by a type of relationship or interaction that connects it. Network a employees may be characterized by employers and network players who play these or interested golf balls. Networking companies have also begun to operate at the level of families and countries of direct action. They are “a society of glue, based on all cultures。
While we may be aware that each of us is part of a network, or a variety of networks, we do not necessarily regard them as people who are simply aware of their capabilities. Of course, networks of all kinds, part of us, usually reflect life in our country, our hobbies, our working lives, our interests, so the network itself does not have the function of being a representative of the people to us. But interestingly, considering the structure of these networks for a while。
If you write names, all you know, and list them separately, how you know them through the family, golf course, school, etc., you'll be close to creating a structured map network. If everyone does the same on your list then you can compare the list and see the real extent of the network. You may know only five players, but they know every five, and so on. Your proposals, and in particular the clubs, can cross national borders and give them to friends on the basis of the comments made, and they are adopted。
In analysing social networks, greater emphasis is placed on those individuals or groups, who not only have more links to specific networks but also have more network members. If you live in an isolated city with friends of all your players, you can play golf and work, then go home and limit your network, its effectiveness and it will be considered a “small and tight” network. Knowledge and opportunities, such networks need not go beyond individual participation。
New members are unlikely to join, and the network is unlikely to expand or promote any further members once existing knowledge and opportunities are shared. If, on the other hand, the networks of each member are also members of many other networks that are “more open” will be expanded and allow for greater circulation of new opportunities and wider use of new information. The flow of knowledge and information is much larger in such a network and benefits its members。
If we apply these ideas now, online networking should immediately clarify the increased likelihood of usefulness and usefulness, and a worldwide network of communication networks will. Since knowledge and opportunities may be seen as networks of partial monetary value, platforms worldwide must be advanced in form. With online social networking services, dedicated networking capacity in this area is huge and potentially useful, and the network is “pressure”。
Application of the six-degree partition theory
There are many applications of the six-degree space theory in practice, such as the home-based school network, various campus friends and so on, and its application in substance: carjacking, best friends buying and selling games, “friend friends” dynamics in personal space, etc。
Six degrees of space theory through "friends trading."

With the rise of the sns (social network services) website and the emergence of more social interaction ideas, the advantages of social networking services are increasingly reflected in the competition for portals. In recent years, there has been a wave of internet-based websites focused on sns, representative of which are: school-based networks, happy nets, myspace, portals such as the new wave. These websites can be an example of a national sns that is worth learning. We take the new wave of space as an example. After the new wave launched its new wave space, there was no greater change in the year than the addition of simple yet interesting games. These games integrate our real life into the network and are particularly suited to working people. It is not false to say that the game draws people closer to each other。
In recent years, the application of sns in the country has been reflected in the interactive games set up following the example of facebook. “friends trading” is a game that makes people entertain more friends。
If you can see what kind of “slave” is in the “friends trading” game, and all the attributes of these “slaves” are on the list of the best friends. If you think this “slave” is very attractive to you, you want to “tort” him, you must make him your slave, and the precondition for becoming your “slave” is to be a friend with him, and you can add him as a friend by way of invitation, and you can buy and sell him as soon as you have been certified by the other party, that is, if you want to play a game, you must have friends, you must have more friends, you must have more friends, you have known your best friend's “slave” through your best friend, and you can continue to know “slave” through this “slave”. You know more friends through your friends, and you repeat them so that the entire network is a family, and it is not a possibility that the six-degree space theory can really be reflected here. You can finally see yourself through your friend's information, which is inevitable, because someone else can buy and sell you through "friends."
The station chiefs can argue that if it were so amazing, wouldn't the six-degree space theory make me attract all the users of the network? Is it not theoretically contradictory that other websites follow this pattern and attract all users of the network, but not all users of the network use two web sites simultaneously? Of course, the six-degree space theory that we are talking about is just a macro-level understanding of people-to-people connectivity, not that it is possible to attract all users of the network by creating an interactive system that attracts people and invites people. Theoretically combined with good ideas and strong technological support, your website is not far from successful。
Six degrees apart
The so-called six-degree partition theory refers to six divisions of security, introduced by harvard university psychologist stanley milgram in the 1960s, six divisions of security. In short, it is in this society that the six-degree division creates a link between any two people, which requires a maximum of six people (including the two), whether or not they know, live anywhere on earth, and they are divided only six degrees。
Six degrees
(1) the strength of the relationship — the question of the value of power
(2) distinction between arrival and networking - purpose and outcome issues
(3) costs and incentives passed — the problem of obstruction...
As the social network has evolved to mature and become operational, many of the front-runners of the network have begun to practice the theory of six degrees of division, in the country. LInkist is one of the practices in the social and human context。
